OBADIAH SEELY, OF SYRACUSE, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO E. LAASS AND G. W.HEY, OF SAME PLACE.

VAPOR-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 239,679, dated April 5,18181.

Application filed August 23, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, OBADIAH SEELY, of Syracuse, in the county ofOnondaga, in the State of New York, have invented new and 5 usefulImprovements in Vapor-Burners, of which the following,taken inconnection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

The invention consists in the combination, with a vaporizing-chamber andits needlevalve, constructed as hereinafterdescribed, of a pivoteddeflecting or spreader plate having the center of its pivot directlyunder the nozzle of the needle-valve, by which arrangement I 5 theadjustment of said deflecting-plate is made radial from the base of theflame, and thus rendered more perfect.

The invention is fully illustrated in the ac companying drawings,wherein Figure l is a side View of my improved burner; Fig. 2, a topview of same; Fig. 3, a side view of the pattern from which thevapor-generating chamber, with its annular cup, is molded and cast. Fig.4 is a plan view of same; and Fig. 5 is a 5 vertical section of thevapoegenerating chamber and its cup as struck up out of said castmg.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. 3 A denotesthe vapor-generating chamber, usually made of cylindric form, andattached at one end to the conduit B for the hydrocarbon fluid.

O is the annular cup surrounding the base of the chamber A, for thepurpose of primarily heating the chamber and thus starting the gen=eration of the gas therein, a small quantity of fluid being introducedinto said cup and ignited, the flame thereof surrounding the cham- 4 herand producing the aforesaid effect. ()wingto the difficulty of moldingand casting the aforesaid cup on the vaporizing-chamber, it has hithertobeen formed of a separate piecepressed onto the end of the chamber. Theexpansion by the heat, however, frequently opened the joint between thecupa-nd chamber and produced leakage of the cup. Io'vercome all of theaforesaid difficulties by forming the vaporizing-chamber and its cup ofone piece, of brass or other malleable or ductile material, cast withacircumferential flange, a, which stands at right angles from thevaporizing-chamber, and i is beveled, as shown in Fig. 3 of thedrawings. This flange a is subsequently struck up into the requisite'cupshape by means of suitable swages or dies, which method of constructionconstitutes the subject of another application for Letters Patent, whichIam about to make.

I) is the nozzle, from which the flame of the burner issues, said flamebeing controlled by a pointed pintle, 0, arranged transversely throughthe chamber, in line with the axis of the nozzle, and entering, with itspointed end, the latter in the usual manner. Directly under the nozzle11 the chamber is provided, on its exterior, with a projection, 61,having a vertical orifice, e, in which is pivoted the deflecting-plateD. The center of the orifice 0, being in a perpendicular line from thecenter of the nozzle, brings the vertex of the deflections of the plateD at the base of the flame.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. The combination, with thevaporizingchamber A and its needle-valve b c, of the pivoted 'ilate D,having the center of its pivot directly under the nozzle 11,substantially in the manner described and shown.

2. The combination of the vaporizing-chamber A, provided directly underthe nozzle b with the projection (1, having the vertical ori- 8o fice e,and the deflecting-plate or spreader D pivoted in said orifice,substantially as described and shown.

,In testimony whereoflhave hereunto signed my name and affixed my seal,in the presence 5 of two attesting witnesses, at Syracuse, in the countyof Onondaga and State of New York, this 17th day of May, i880.
